Little White Dress

Forget your little black dress, I think this Spring/Summer I’ll don some lighters wears. I normally live in black, with a splash of color, but I am recently obsessed with white, flowing, peasant dresses. Maybe it’s all of the modern literature I’ve been reading, or the period films I’ve been watching, like Bright Star, there’s just something so romantic and free-spirited about a beautiful white day dress.

Want the pattern for the dress pictured on the model above? Get it here!

Check out this lovely white dress I created for a friend of mine to wear to the Sex and the City 2 movie premiere using the Jenny dress pattern.

I love the white Halston dress from SATC. Its jersey, which is a double plus. I think it would be fairly easy to pattern myself…. I would probably use the Mellissa dress as a base since it has a waistband and a V shaped neck. Just extend out from the shoulder to make 3/4 length dolman sleeves, make a CF bodice seam instead of a cross front, and slash/spread the skirt pattern to make it fuller. Presto.

Ah. My initial thought when I saw the pictures was actually “oh, graduation dresses”.
Yes, all the girls look like little white elves when fashion is romantic and flowy enough… but we also wear white hats with a black brim (very much like Donald Duck’s hat actually), so we look a bit funny too, hehe!
